Tony Parker was selected as an All-Star and that is bullshit. Therefore, I pick him. Carmelo and A.I don't go, but he goes? are u kidding me?

I would say it is a bit of a stretch to say Wade is overrated, especially after the playoffs last year. In my opinion, the Heat (outside of Wade and Shaq) are a horribly designed team. Jason Williams and Antoine Walker do not fit their mold at all, and it is showing this season. Even with Shaq out, they should be doing better, but I don't blame Wade.

Sheed fit in great with the Pistons, and was pretty dominant before on the Blazers, but he is past his prime now.

My fav answer was always Baron Davis and Steve Francis. I know Francis is no longer highly regarded, I haven't seen Davis play since he ended up GS so I dunno how he's playing or if he's still as highly regarded as he used to be.

I don't think Marbury is highly rated at all anymore. I can see the argument for Arenas, but he really has been dominant this season.

Iverson or Bryant. King James to a lesser extent (fucking good, but not enough to makke his team a real contender).

The Lakers are a solid team. They have talent to be where they are without him. HOWEVER, they treat him like he is the only go to guy on the team (like AI back when he was on the Sixers). I realize that this is not the case as much as it was a couple years back, but they won't die without him.
I think when 1 guy is putting out 35+ points on average, the team might need readjustment. Yeah, I realize more and more guys are doing that these days, but it's because more and more teams are "1 superstar and the other guys" and not set up more like Phoenix, San Antonio or Detroit, where the whole team has a bunch of guys with superstar potential, but less selfishness. Maybe it's a personal thing. |

Also, I believe that is why USA did so badly at the last summer Olympics. Too many guys used to being the star of the team. It's not like 2004's team was any worse talent-wise that 1992's dream team. There is jus less teamwork and that bother's me.

Luke Walton is developing, Lamar is good, I don't know about the Lakers being fine without Kobe though. Actually I completely disagree with that statement. Without Kobe the Lakers would be extremely lucky to make the playoffs.

If Kode broke his leg in 12 places and they had to play without him, I'd agree that initially they'd be kinda crap because they depend on him so much. But between now and the playoffs, I think they could get enough guys (Odom, Parker and Walton especially) to step up, sink more baskets and create more plays.
They could make the playoffs without him. |

Dunno bout that. Kobe is the person they go to when everything goes to shit. Kobe steps up in the 4th. People double team Kobe, so that gets other guys open, and they hit the open shot. Kobe is the veteran leader of this young ballclub, they'd be lost in the water without him. The only reason why you might have a point, is because the Lakers have a great head coach.

PG: Smush Parker SG: Insert Random SF: Luke Walton PF: Lamar Odom C: Kwame Brown |

Kobe is overrated but is still MVP by a country mile for the Lakers. As said no way they would be where they are without him. He is also no where near the most overrated.

I don't really understand how Kobe is overrated. He won three championships, but apparently isn't a winning player without Shaq, but now he has changed his game and is on a legitimate NBA contender right now. He isn't MJ, but based on talent alone, he is easily top five, and based on importance to his team, I would agian say he is top five.
Talent (in no order) Kobe, LeBron, Garnett, Marion, Kidd Importance (in no order, only on contending teams) Duncan, Nash, Kobe, Arenas, Wade, LeBron I thought of that in 10 seconds, so if I am missing somebody blatant tell me. Just from looking at it though, it seems all right. |
